Breaking in a new plus bike today
I rode my new Framed Marquette this afternoon and am still smiling, great bike. It's a carbon fiber frame, 1x11 cassette, hardtail, 27.5x3 + size tires, Rock Shox Revelation forks and Avid hydraulic brakes.
Very light bike, climbs great and is very nimble. I added a ThudBuster seat post and my studded flat pedals.
I rode it about 9 miles today on some technical single track. I could have rode more but it was getting dark. There are still some minor personal adjustments for me to make but the fit is pretty close. This bike is a good value and I like it so far. More review to come next week.

Framed is a company based out of MN.
I had opnly heard of them as selling fadbikes, but it looks like they do a bit of everything.
Plus = 2.8" - 3" +/- tires
Fat = 3.8" - 5" +/- tires

Frames designed to be run with either 27.5x3" or 29x2.3. The outer rolling diameter is similar, so the fork and frame just need to be a hair wider to accommodate the 3" tire.
It allows the owner to adapt the bike to riding conditions by swapping wheels.
